Biodiversity UK

Is yours a forward thinking business?

The UK has lost almost half of its wildlife and plant species since the 1970s as a result of human and land development. Only 53% of the UKs biodiversity is left and as a result we are one of the most nature depleted countries on the planet. The 2023 State of Nature report states that halting and reversing biodiversity loss is vital to the wellbeing of our country and its inhabitants.

NOW is the time for organisations like Biodiversity UK and business communities across the UK to step forward and make this happen

Forward thinking businesses are seeking out interesting and exciting opportunities that enable them to demonstrate and evidence their environmental, educational and social value credentials. By doing so they a giving themselves an important competitive edge when going out to market.

Biodiversity UK has created the ideal gateway for your business to not only demonstrate, but evidence its commitment to sustainability. It enables you to align your business to exciting environmental projects, connect with communities, deliver genuine Social Value and provide education opportunities to future generations.

All of which you are then able to prove using the Impact Evaluation Standard (IES)*

Crossing The Chasm

Would it shock you to learn that small business owners and entrepreneurs can spend an average of 900 hours per year on general admin?  That’s over 17hrs per week that you’re answering emails, organising your diary, placing stationery orders, scheduling social media posts, booking travel, and sorting out your expenses etc. So now just stop and think for a minute… what could YOU do with an additional 17hrs per week?  Perhaps you would make it to the gym for an hour each day instead of just talking about it.  Maybe you would get home at a decent time so that you can at least read your children a bed time story, or better yet, have dinner with them.  Or shock horror, you might actually be able to spend that time focusing on your own goals and business development.

So how do you make this happen?  How do you take control of your life, your business and your time all without breaking the bank and having the costly expense of recruiting staff?  It’s simple, you outsource your admin to one of our amazing Virtual Assistant’s here at Crossing The Chasm.  We have over 45 years of PA, EA and Office Manager experience and we love what we do.  We are only a small team of 2 right now, but we have the heart of many and the experience of many more.

York Residential Landlords Association

York Residential Landlords Association was founded in 1994 by a small group of landlords living in York. York RLA is a membership based, non-profit making organisation whose principle aim is to give help and advice to residential landlords. Since 1994 our association has grown significantly and we have an excellent relationship with the City Of York Council, North Yorkshire Police and all of York’s academic institutions, including the University of York and York St John University.

Regardless of how few or how many properties you own, we are here to help.

Our membership is made up mainly of part-time landlords along with a small number of full-time landlords/letting agents, and a number of other people who are interested in becoming landlords in the near future. Our membership currently stands at over 500.

York RLA is run by landlords for landlords. Our members elect a committee on an annual basis whose role it is to organise the association’s affairs and respond to the needs of members. The committee members are all residential landlords in their own right who give up their time on a voluntary basis to help the association and its members. In addition we have a dedicated staff member who supports the membership, committee and chairman, ensuring that York RLA is run professionally and independently.

By joining York RLA, landlords gain enormous benefits for a very modest membership fee. See Membership Benefits.

We hold free presentations and seminars on a monthly basis at the Pavilion Hotel, York. Non-members are welcome to attend one presentation prior to joining. See Programme of Events.

Blue Tree Consulting

All organisations are like Blue Trees.

The roots are your values and purpose – what you are here to do, and how will you act.

Your roots anchor you, guide you, and support everything above ground.

The trunk of the Blue Tree is your leadership capability and behaviours. Giving strength, guidance and direction to everyone above in your organisation.

The lower boughs characterise your approach to people. Call it HR if you will, but we believe its much more than that. Its about how you behave toward your people, the environment that you create for them in which to perform and thrive and grow. Its about maximising their strengths and potential, its not about conditioning them to be some fit in the box corporate drone. And these are not tasks for HR alone, they are tasks for all leaders and managers in your organisation, along with all colleagues.

As we head into the leaf canopy of your Blue Tree we encounter your managers. Those who, through their people deliver performance, those who need to ensure that they are aligned to your organisation’s purpose, and that their people are too. Those who are the first port of call for feedback, for motivation, and for ensuring that behaviours are aligned to your values and purpose.

In your leaf canopy perhaps each leaf represents one of your people. Aligned to your purpose, values and objectives. Connected to each other, very closely or somewhat less so. But each one different. Unique. Creative and innovative.  With their own thoughts, voice and contribution. But acting in harmony with the rest of your organisation.

Stepping back from your Blue Tree, you can see the whole. An aligned organisation. Strong. Thriving and growing. All contributing to the whole. This is your organisational capability and culture.  This is also what your people and your customers see, feel and experience.

You may be asking why the tree is blue? Well, you don’t want to be the same as every other tree do you? You want to stand out, to be different. To be you.

Culture is an often thrown around word.  We think of it as the way things are done around here, how people think and feel, and what its like to work here, to work with us, and to be a customer of ours.

So, it should flow from your purpose and values and be seen at all touch points, consistently.

Where you have lost your connection to your sense of purpose and your values, where your leadership is not ensuring that everyone's efforts and behaviours are aligned, then you have chaos, poor service, sub cultures, loss of productivity and the obvious negative impacts on the bottom line and your reputation.

If you are suffering from any of these problems, then we can help.

Ian Cartwright Mental Health First Aid Training and Compassio Therapy

Mental Health First Aid (England) training provides delegates with the skills and confidence to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues and effectively guide a person towards the right support. The training will teach people to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis - or even prevent a crisis from happening. Delegates will gain an understanding of how to support positive wellbeing and tackle stigma in the world around them.

We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health. Mental ill health can strike at any time and can affect people from all walks of life. Although things are improving, stigma still exists, and as a society we don't tend to know how to take care of our mental health like we do our physical health. This means that people may not know how to support a friend, family member or colleague experiencing a mental ill health issue, or where to go for support with their own mental health. Ian Cartwright Mental Health First Aid Training can help train you to recognise signs of mental ill health and offer support and guidance to someone who may be struggling.

Ian Cartwright Mental Health training have training options to suit a range of working hours and budgets, from the MHFA Aware Half Day, to the MHFA Two Day course. Training can be delivered online, at your premises, or other venue. Ian is a Mental Health, First Aid (England) approved Instructor Member. He has also completed safeguarding training and is DBS registered - so you will be in safe hands.

Fewell Wealth

We all have things that are important to us. Even if it’s making sure your current standard of living lasts throughout retirement, it’s important to know where to start. We understand this isn’t always easy. And with so many options to choose from, it can often be difficult to know if you’re doing the right thing.

That’s where our advice service can help you make the most of what you have. We believe less can definitely be more. So the advice recommendations we make are from a carefully selected range of products and funds. Using a focused and controlled approach allows us to develop an in-depth knowledge of the products, so we can safely and confidently recommend a solution that’s right for you. This is known as restricted advice. We start by building a relationship with our clients, taking the time to get to know you and understand what’s important to you, so we can deliver advice that’s right for you. We’ll review your finances, understand the current plans you have in place and get a full picture of your financial situation - including what you’re looking to do in the future.

Our advice covers a range of financial areas, including retirement planning, protection, investments and estate planning. When it comes to helping you plan for your retirement, or enjoying it more if you’re already there, we can deliver advice that’s right for you.

And remember, our advice isn’t just for the wealthy. You don't need a large nest egg or lottery win to benefit from financial advice. We can help you with a variety of financial needs and make it as easy as possible for you to get the advice you need.

Unlike some lenders, we understand the challenges of small to medium enterprises and appreciate the value of having an exceptional, entrepreneurial, and solution-driven team by your side, each and every step of the way. Through each hurdle, bump, and success.

One Stop Business Finance seeks to become long-term partners with the businesses we fund, rather than one-off suppliers. To ensure our borrowers are supported well beyond receipt of funds, you will have a dedicated contact who will provide a personal service to each-and-every one of our clients.

Are you seeking business finance? We would love to meet for a coffee in your local area, or in our idyllic Yorkshire-based office. After all, all great conversations start in person.

City of York Council

The York Economic Strategy, covering the period 2011-2015, has been finalised.

This document, published jointly by City of York Council and York Economic Partnership, recognises the difficulties recession has placed upon both households and firms in the city and recognises the need to develop a robust strategy for recovery and development.

We have much to be justly proud of in York, assets that are first class and present many opportunities; our heritage and culture, leading universities, a strong science and innovation focus, highly-skilled workforce and strengths in both old and new industries.

However, the full potential of the city's economy has not yet been realised, and difficult economic times could present challenges to York's economy in the near future. We need to develop a more productive and enterprising economy that makes the most of the assets we have whilst improving upon our weaknesses. With improvements to our economy, we can work to improve our international profile and attract higher levels of inward investment.

Our central economic vision is for the City of York to become a more enterprising and international city economy, renowned for opportunity and specifically to become a top-10 English city economy that delivers for business, people and the environment, and internationally-recognised as an 'innovation capital' - a key centre for science, R&D and knowledge-based business.

Grays Court

Grays Court York is possibly the oldest continuously occupied house in the United Kingdom. Dating back in part to 1080 and commissioned by the first Norman Archbishop of York to provide the official residence for the Treasurers of York Minster, the house has an unrivalled history.

The house was surrendered to the Crown on 26 May 1547 and the last of the mediaeval Treasurers, William Clyff, resigned. The first post-Reformation owner was Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset. He was given the house in 1547 by King Edward VI, the son of King Henry VIII.

In 2005 the Dean & Chapter of York Minster decided to sell Grays Court. The building had become somewhat neglected and had an institutional feel. John & Helen immediately recognised the potential to breathe new life into the house as an exclusive retreat for discerning visitors.

Nestled in the shadow of York Minster and the City Walls, Grays court is now a true one-off - a country house in the heart of the city - just waiting to be discovered. Along with our charming bedrooms, we offer fine food, exquisite gardens and the warmest welcome to everyone.

Middlethorpe Hall & Spa

Middlethorpe Hall is a William and Mary country house, built in 1699 of mellow red brick with limestone dressings, for Thomas Barlow, a master cutler from Sheffield. It was bought in the 1980s and reopened as a luxury hotel, Restaurant and Spa in 1984, rescued from decay, caringly and lovingly restored by Historic House Hotels. In September 2008, Middlethorpe Hall and the other two Historic House Hotels became the inalienable property of the National Trust by donation, with all profits benefiting the houses and the charity.

The restoration, conservation and conversion into a country house hotel has been carried out to exacting and historically accurate standards. It has been elegantly decorated in the manner of the 18th Century and furnished with antiques and fine paintings, so that its look and ambiance is that of a well-kept, well-furnished private manor house rather than a 29 bedroom Hotel (ten rooms and suites in the house, and nineteen in the adjacent 18th Century courtyard).

The 20 acres of manicured gardens and parkland which surround Middlethorpe Hall are also the result of a transformation - from a rose bed and nettles to a parterre that now includes a fragrant rose garden, intriguing walled garden and romantic meadow which leads to a lake surrounded by beautiful specimen trees. There is also a ha'ha.

Middlethorpe Hall is renowned for its imaginative cuisine and its panelled dining rooms which overlook the manicured gardens. It also boasts a Health and Fitness Spa built behind the handsome façade of two listed Edwardian cottages. This offers guests a range of facilities from Decléor, ESPA and Jessica treatments with trained therapists to a splendid swimming pool, sauna and gymnasium.

Middlethorpe Hall, like its sister hotels Hartwell House in Aylesbury and Bodysgallen Hall near Llandudno, has achieved a graceful transition from country house to first-class hotel without losing its character. Indeed, Historic House Hotels are now the yardstick by which others must be judged.

Middlethorpe Hall welcomes children over the age of 6.

In the interest of the majority of our guests and the safety of historic Middlethorpe Hall, all rooms and bedrooms have been designated non-smoking.

Restore (York) Ltd

Restore manages a range of houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs) around York, employing a team of Housing Support Workers to work alongside our residents.

We encourage our residents to engage in a range of areas so that the whole of their lives can be restored, not just their need for a place to sleep at night. Our engagement covers things such as education, training and employment, volunteering, counselling, mentoring, pursuit of hobbies, physical activity, and accessing the local church.

We believe that at our core we are relational beings. No man or woman is an island. Many of our residents have experienced long periods of social exclusion and isolation. Many do not have strong or positive social networks. Our aim is to provide a loving, supportive and enriching community for our residents through regular meals, social activities, and forming links with the wider community.
